"Courses
in digital literacy must be a top priority for Britain’s schools"In
a Digitally driven curriculum, Professor David Buckingham, of the
Institute of Education, argues that children need to be taught new
literacy skills to understand and interpret a wide range of sources
and media, be it on the internet, CD-Roms or in print
Rather than just being ‘functional’ literacy confined
to information retrieval, today’s school children need to
be taught to approach all digital media in a more sophisticated
fashion.
This means that digital literacy must mean more than simply protecting
children from the dangers of digital media. Also, in the same way
the children learn to read and write, digital literacy must cover
production skills as wells as critical consumption."
